I have agree with both of you. Kudo's to getting the details and to the group you tapped to find out who these people are.

This event transcends operators, sites, and vessels. It is time.

The agenda here is pretty damn clear.

We are defined as an industry and as shark conservationists not by moments when everything goes well and we are sitting on the back deck of a vessel at sunset.

We are defined by moments like these, when presented with horrific evidence of policies that kill sharks-those who stand up now to make a difference will show to the planet what they think of sharks and shark conservation.

It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch those images, but they need to be seen, I agree.

It is so unfortunate that many in the general public (non shark lovers) will simply not understand the atrocity that is taking place in these images. I have never been more aware of this than now and is the center point of my efforts to help make a difference.

I applaud those that have the passion, as well as the courage to act, and I stand beside you in this fight.

I haven't even looked at the photos; I'm not sure I want to. Sometimes you get overloaded with images like this; over at Facebook, not a day goes by that someone isn't asking me to sign a petition against animal cruelty.

Please be aware of the fact that diving with sharks can be potentially dangerous. Do NOT closely interact with sharks, touch them, feed them unless you are very experienced and know exactly how to interpret their body language. While it might look easy and harmless to interact with sharks the way we do, we do NOT encourage this type of underwater activity.
